Announcing Shapeways World Meetup Day on February 28th

Without doubt, the best Shapeways community events are our Meetups. Every time we attend one, we meet great people, hear inspiring stories and make new friends. People are often surprised to find fellow community members in their town and stay in touch.

So far, we’ve had Meetups in cities all over the world, including New York, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, San Francisco, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Newcastle and of course Eindhoven (Shapeways’ birthplace!). We can’t be everywhere all the time and we know you’re eager to share Shapeways with your friends so we’re excited to announce…

Shapeways Community World Meetup

This year, on Thursday February 28th, we will be hosting our first ever Shapeways Community World Meetup, and we need YOUR help to make it happen!

During the World Meetup, we will have as many local Meetups on the same day as possible, sharing pictures and videos with each other. We’ll be partying around the world!

Join a Meetup, or host one!

We now have meetups planned in almost 50 cities around the world. You will find Shapeways team members at the meetups in New York City, Amsterdam and Helsinki. Check out the list to see if your area is listed as well, and join! Don’t be afraid to leave a comment on the event page if you have a question or suggestion.

Is your city not listed yet? Then why not start your own meetup? It’s easy, head over to the Shapeways World Meetup page and search for your location. If there’s no meetup for your town yet, just add one so other people can join you and help you with organizing the event.

Also send an email to community@shapeways.com and tell us where you are! We’ll hook you up to other people in your area and give you the low down on hosting a meetup, no experience necessary, just a willingness to meet likeminded people. We will also send a box of samples and a Shapeways T-shirt to the largest meetup groups. If you have questions or suggestions about this event, please leave them on the forum

I would be honoured to be able to help in anyway, the Shapeways meetup event in Chino Hills, California. My phone No: (removed), please call me and let me know how I may be able to help in any way.
Thanks, Best Redards,

Great post. I used to be checking constantly this blog
and I’m inspired! Extremely useful info specifically the ultimate part I care for such info a lot. I used to be seeking this certain information for a very lengthy time. Thanks and good luck.

The World Meetup page lists February 27th as the date, and this blog specifies the date as February 28th. There seems to be a discrepancy. (I am interested in either date and will sign up when it’s cleared up).

yes, there’s a problem with the meetup page, but we’re working on getting that sorted out. The correct date is definitely the 28th! You can just go ahead and create the event and then update the date for now.

Hi, I’m in India and a 3D printing hobbyist but it seems there’s no meet-up in India. I’m in Pune, India and would have loved to attend one. Don’t mind even travelling to other city to attend in India.

We will be there in Amsterdam and on the spot we will create a meeting also in the Virtual World Second life and will be joined by a creator that made jewelry in this virtual world and print it out now through shapeways.
We hope all will work if the connection is right.
Looking forward!
